High Energy Physics (HEP) investigates the fundamental components of the universe and their interactions, spanning from the smallest particles to the vastness of space. This field not only aims to answer profound questions about the universe—such as its composition, the forces at play, and its historical development—but also fosters innovation, inspires young scientists, and trains skilled professionals.
U.S. researchers play a crucial role in significant international collaborations and utilize advanced methodologies and technologies from national laboratories. HEP is dedicated to developing cutting-edge accelerators, detectors, and computational tools, promoting Accelerator Stewardship to make these technologies accessible to both science and industry.
